7/10
It could go either way
12 October 2022
I'm one of those people who googles the entire cast after watching a series or movie I love. So I can't explain it but I love Grace Gummer ever since I saw her in Mr Robot so this is how I came across this show. The acting is pretty decent. So far I think it's a pretty interesting story as it feels like an original concept, more or less, but it's just about interesting enough to keep watching. There's nothing to blow your mind away right from the start; still room for improvement as it could be a promising premise so I hope it only gets better from here.

I don't have any obvious criticisms, my only complaint is the groans and stomach growls sound a little over the top, you could still make them sound loud and sorta disturbing, but it sounds like you're hearing a recording of a speaker and a little unbelievable. That only happened in e01 so I guess it's fine.

I love fantasy shows so I was really looking forward to this and I think it still has a lot to offer, just not showing it yet. Nothing bad and nothing to make it feel special yet but that's a lot to ask so early in the season. It's hard to form a concrete opinion after only one episode unless something's absolutely stellar or absolutely horrid so I'll be updating this later on because it could turn out great or just mediocre.

A couple more episodes in and I'd say it keeps it's promise. It's not trying to be anything over the top, more often than not vampire shows will exhibit them as rich or cultured almost in a patrician way, but this is sorta like an everyday average middle class family which feels like a more niche take. If vampires weren't fantasy, I'd say it's a pretty realistic show with realistic stakes. Might be worth a watch if you're looking for something new in the genre.
